It’s all a game of chicken until June 30th, then it’s going to be too late to backpedal. The number of people that will just stop using reddit when their app breaks probably isn’t huge, but I’d bet it’s a significant chunk of their content creators.

It’s weird because content on reddit right now that isn’t whining about the blackout is practically nonexistent. There’s little reason to stay on the site now that my feed is so dead, especially after RIF stops working.

The entire goal from the US perspective is to make this conflict last forever. It’s a lot like when the US armed Afghanistan against the soviets. The whole point is to get Russia to waste as many resources as possible.

Both are probably true. Some more things that help those claims.

• ad revenue per user is garbage on reddit, and forcing third party users into their app is a small number of users.
• reddit is currently not profitable, likely because they hired a ton of people trying to get more growth that didn’t happen.
• reddit has no good ideas on how to effectively monetize the site, they also have no good concept of who is important for user engagement.

Nay.

Servers are an implementation detail that shouldn’t matter to users in the first place.

That logo should have stayed dead. It’s awful, the proportions are all screwed up.

If I haven’t seen it, it’s new to me.

Honestly it’s surprising it’s raising at all given hockey had a pretty lackluster performance. They aren’t breaking revenue records despite massive inflation.

If they aren’t going to wear the jerseys for the actual game, they shouldn’t wear them at all.

1-3 times every 1-3 days is the normal range.
